    My husband has been working (or maybe I should say volunteering) for USXPRESS' lease program for almost a year and the lease program is up in November. We had wanted to save up for a down on our own truck but literally we have made nothing. Yet we still want to own. We had also lost our home to foreclosure over a year ago and truck has been our home. In consequence his credit is not at its best ... anyone know what possibilities there are for us?

    There are options. Google select trucks. Thru freightshaker. There is a 900 bucks down and a 2 year warranty on used freightshakers. I would not get a truck with over 500,000 miles on it. If there is a credit problem that they won't work with then there are companies, prudential leasing inc is one. I don't know if they are upfront or not, but places like that you pick out the truck new or used, get your best deal then contact them. They purchase it and you finance thru them. Don't know what it costs, but you can do anything to the truck, paint, add apu's or whatever you need. I would check them out good. I am not sure about them, but know there a co's out there like that.
